Craigslist Rental Scam
January 28, 2010. NWMLS has been notified of a scam involving the placement of active residential listings on Craigslist as rentals. The perpetrator is posting the address, listing photos, and marketing remarks in these false ads. When a consumer inquires about the property, the scam artist responds and states that he is in West Africa for a prayer crusade and asks the consumer to fill out a rental application, which seeks personal information from the consumer.
